At present, with the development of wireless communication and microcomputer control system, the design and construction level of long-span bridges in China are also improving. How to improve the durability of bridge structure has become a major scientific and technological problem in bridge design and construction. This paper studies a microcomputer control system of bridge dehumidification based on energy consumption optimization and wireless communication. It compares three kinds of dehumidification and anticorrosion methods of bridge engineering, namely, freezing dehumidification system, rotary dehumidification system, and hybrid dehumidification system. In the hardware design of microcomputer control system of dehumidification system, ATmega128 bit main control chip and aluminum designer are used to draw the power circuit. Then, the MCU program of the air dehumidifier is written, and the power of the air dehumidifier is controlled by the PWM signal generated by the timer 0 of the MCU. The air dehumidifier is divided into three tap positions corresponding to three duty cycles, and the power of the air dehumidifier is changed according to the input tap position.

The objective of this work is to decrease energy consumption of the aeration system at a mid-size conventional wastewater treatment plant in the south of Sweden where aeration consumes 44% of the total energy consumption of the plant. By designing an energy optimised aeration system (with aeration grids, blowers, controlling valves) and then operating it with a new aeration control system (dissolved oxygen cascade control and most open valve logic) one can save energy. The concept has been tested in full scale by comparing two treatment lines: a reference line (consisting of old fine bubble tube diffusers, old lobe blowers, simple DO control) with a test line (consisting of new Sanitaire Silver Series Low Pressure fine bubble diffusers, a new screw blower and the Flygt aeration control system). Energy savings with the new aeration system measured as Aeration Efficiency was 65%. Furthermore, 13% of the total energy consumption of the whole plant, or 21 000 €/year, could be saved when the tested line was operated with the new aeration system.

The article presents an analysis of priority solutions for trams at a selected sequence of intersections in Warsaw (Poland). An analysis of the literature has shown the topicality of this issue. A computer simulation model of a coordinated sequence of intersections was constructed. Three test scenarios were designed: the existing control system, the new coordinated fixed-time control system, and the adaptive control system with active priority. In the simulation process, detailed travel characteristics of trams and other traffic participants in a selected section were obtained for the three varying scenarios. Electric energy consumption for traction needs and pollutant emissions was then estimated for each of the variants. It was concluded that for the analyzed configuration, implementation of the adaptive priority will result in a reduction of tram time losses by up to 25%, a reduction in energy consumption by up to 23%, and a reduction in the emission of pollutants from individual vehicles by up to 3% in relation to the original variant. The conducted research may be the basis for a comprehensive method of assessing the effectiveness of applying the adaptative priority when designing new tramway lines and modernizing the existing ones.

Oxidation ditches are popularly used in rural areas and decentralized treatment facilities where energy deficiency is of concern. Aeration control technologies are well established for diffusion systems in order to improve energy efficiency, but there are still challenges in their application in oxidation ditches because surface aerators have unique characteristics with respect to oxygen transfer and energy consumption. In this paper, an integral energy model was proposed to include the energy, aeration, and fluidic effects of surface aerators, by which the energy for aeration of each aerator can be estimated using online data. Two types of rotating disks with different diameters (1800 mm and 1400 mm) were monitored in situ to estimate the model parameters. Furthermore, a feedforward–feedback loop control strategy was proposed using the concept of energy analysis and optimization. The simplified control system was implemented in a full-scale Orbal oxidation ditch, achieving an approximately 10% saving in full-process energy consumption. The cost–benefit analysis and carbon emission assessment confirmed the economic feasibility and environmental contribution of the control system. The energy model can help process designers and operators to better understand and optimally control the aeration process in oxidation ditches.

Control system of industrial furnace is optimized based on the aspect of the combustion. General goal of the control system is to achieve the lowest fuel with the constraints of ensuring the target control temperature of the equipment. And in different output and different fuel quantity conditions, the air-fuel rate is automatically optimized to achieve the goal of energy consumption combined with gas temperature of furnace temperature, oxygen and many parameters.
